Personal Fundraising

When you raise funds for the Y, you’re not just giving — you’re inspiring others to join you.

Make an Impact

Personal fundraising amplifies the impact of your generosity. By rallying your friends, family, colleagues and neighbors, you can help raise critical funds to support programs that strengthen communities across our region.

When you fundraise on behalf of the YMCA, you help ensure more children, teens, adults and families can access the programs and support they need to thrive. The YMCA uses GoFundMe Pro (formerly Classy), a simple online fundraising platform that allows you to create your own personalized giving page and invite your network to join you in supporting a cause you care about.

Create Your Personal Fundraising Page

Every campaigner is encouraged to build a personal fundraising page connected to your YMCA branch, camp or program’s main campaign page. Your page is your opportunity to share why the Y matters to you and inspire others to give.

Make It Your Own

After setting up your page, customize it with:

  • Photos that reflect your Y experience
  • Your YMCA story — why you give, what the Y means to you and how you’ve seen it make a difference
  • A personal message inviting friends, family and colleagues to support your efforts
